Officials: Student brought weapons to Endeavor Elementary School

An Orange County elementary school student was found with weapons Thursday, according to officials.

The Endeavor Elementary School student apparently brought several weapons in a book bag and told friends about them.

“This morning before school began, a student told three other students that he had weapons in his backpack. The three students immediately reported this to our School Resource Officer,” Principal Sharon Jenkins said in a statement to parents.

Deputies said the weapons included an unloaded handgun, a magazine with six bullets, a kitchen steak knife and a small-handled sledge hammer.

Some parents said they weren't happy with how school officials handled the situation. They said they didn't get an automated alert until 1:30 p.m. even though the incident happened about 8:30 a.m.

"The school should have let parents know in a more timely manner," parent Anneliese Dexter said.

"I go pick him up at 3 (p.m.). There is one police car, and no one is around the police car. You have a serious incident that happened earlier in the day. There should be police presence at this school," parent Tina Presslar said.

No one at the school was hurt. Law enforcement officers are investigating.

Diplomats and negotiators kept working Tuesday as a deadline approached to reach a deal on a framework agreement on Iran's nuclear program, but a U.S. State Department official said the discussion may continue after the cutoff.
